der the permission to take out of Bond ,Brandies which may have been lying in warehouses for more than twelve months, a benefit of the extraordinary nature which it is here represented to be. But, in the next place, the effect of this measure " is to induce holders to bring into immediate use these Brandies, which they have been prevented doing before by hav ing to pay the duty on the original quantity and strength of the spirit ;" that is, that though these Brandies were not taken out of Bond, when every day they remained in added to the loss of the mer chant, they will now be brought out immediately,, when no loss can accrue from their longer continuance in the warehouses. And lastly, the public are now to obtain fine . old Brandies at moderate prices, when there is no reason to believe that the price of the article will be affected one farthing by the regulation, but on the contrary, that it will afford a pretext to dealers to charge the price of old Brandy upon spirits which have never been in these warehouses a day. - - , The regulation itself is founded in justice and com mon sense. If the Legislature permits spirits to be locked up in bond, and the duty to be paid at the time of the delivery, the amount of that duty ought in reason to be regulated by the actual strength of the spirit, not at the time of its importation, but at the time that it is taken out for Consump tion; and on this principle the regulation of the Treasury has been founded, but not with any idea that the benefit of it would be sensibly felt by all classes of persons. Praise therefore is due to the Government for this concession, but not on the grounds that the blind worshippers of Treasury measures have blazened forth. Oh JOHNNY WiLKS ! JOHNNY WILKS Why bast thou poured forth the tremendous vials of thy wrath upon the poor newspapers ?—lt were far better for the repose of thy wayward conscience that they had been buried in the Suds. But all this comes of Joint Stock Companies; and Cornwall Mines, and Devonshire speculations, and Welsh Iron and black diamonds, till thy coal black wrath railest away to Norfolk ! Verily, these are hopeful doings, ema nating from a very hopeful source. But why attack the poor newspapers—the humble but ready ministers of thy will, in spreading thy fame to the four quarters of the earth, and thy speeches to the four winds of Heaven ? Really it was uncharitable in a bird of thy feather to take such a bold and wayward flight with thy black goose quill, denouncing thy best friends with such unsparing fury, though not one of them has reaped the least benefit from thy single-bearted specula tions. But the heart of man is frail, JOHNNY WILK s, and his reason is still frailer, and his passion (witness thyself!) is the frailest of all, unless it be outdone by his selfishness ; but this is not confined to black diamond contractors only, though they have a great deal to answer for. It was but yesterday.that we paid due honours to thy superlative merits in milling spe culations, and to-day we are called upon by thy out rageous, self to give insertion to a letter, conjured up while thy " prophetic fury" was in the ascendant. But as' this letter was never deserved by us, we presume it must have been misdirected, although it bears the very stamp of thy erratic imagination. Truly it is dif ficult to cope with the thunders of thy muse Glancing from iron to coal, from coal to copper, And as thy speculation bodies forth The scrip of things unknown, thy ready pen Tunis it to gold, and gives to airy nothing A local habitation in the suds ! Letters from Copenhagen speak of the mortality in that city as having been very great this summer, owing to the extreme heat of the weather. We have received letters from the North, which speak in terms of high approbation of the policy ob served by Ministers, in partially throwing open the ports for the admission of foreign grain. Not only are the ship-owners in high spirits at the prospect. of better employment for their ships, but all orders of the com munity hail with sincere satisfaction an era which pro mises Incalculable benefit to the country. The mono poly in corn has been too long accorded to the land holders; something, in times such as these, is due to the people, and Ministers show their good sense by the promptitude and wisdom of their measures. Letters have been received from Para, to the 16th Jnly, by which we perceive that the Slave Trade is in full activity on the Coast a Brazil, a vessel named the Maria, having s►iled from that port, .on the 26th• June, for the coast of Africa, licensed to carry til4 slaves for importation there. The Amazon, steam-boat, Captain Clark, had arr ived at Para, from New York, in thirty-eight days, for the purpose of navigating the river Amason, an far as the city of Cusco, ►f allowed by the Government of that Province. The last letters from Paris express much anxiety far the ex pected arrival of Mr. Canning in that Capital, whose intended . visit is supposed to be in relation to the affairs of Spain. The advicea from Liverpool, received 'this morning, mention btu ab0ut.3,600 bags of cotton had been sold on the 6th inst. at " advanoo - or one-eighth of a penny per pound on last week's prices.

DREADFUL ACCIDENT at the COBURG THEATRE.-EXPLOSION OF GAS. This morning about 12 o'clock, the neighbourhood of the Coburg Theatre, was thrown into the greatest confu sion, in consequence of a serious explosion in the Theatre. It appears that three men, named Duke, Webb, and Daw s'on, were employed this morning in pumping the water out of the tank of the oil-gas- apparatus, fitted up in the Theatre (but distnied for some time), when the foul air coming in contact with a lighted 4.andle, a most dreadful explosion took place, completely destroying the gasometer, and so severely injuring the three men, as to leave little hope of the recovery of two of them, Duke and Webb. They were immediately taken to the Hospital, Duke in a terribly mutilated state ; Dawson was not so severely in jured. DOVER, SEPT. 7. (FRONt OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) The very tempestuous state of the weather yesterday and this morning, compelled the stewards of the Regatta to postpone it, very much against their inclination. They took at a very early hour this morning the most effectual measures for communicating the postpone ment to the neighbouring towns, but, notwithstanding all their exertions, there has been a vast influx of vi sitors ; so much so, as to induce the stewards of the ball to announce that it will take place at the Assembly Rooms this evening. It is evident, that had the wee titer been propitious, the town would have been thronged ; and from the excellent arrangements made by the stewards of the regatta, whose unwearied atten tion, and great exertions to promote the entertainments of the day, deserve, and receive the highest praise, there is no doubt that all present would have been highly gratified. The match that excites the strongest interest, is the sweepstakes between the three galleys, belonging to Dover, Deal, and Folkestone ; the crews have been carefully selected, and are unquestionably the elite of each town, and it appears that the boats are freely backed by their respective townsmen. It has long been a matter of doubt, which place could pro duce• the best boat's crew, and the question• will now be determined. If the weather permits, the regatta will take place to-morrow, and numbers of the visitors will partake of the hospitality of their friends to-day, attend the ball this evening, and remain here for the night, under that expectation. At present, the appearance of the weather is decidedly unfavourable. To console themselves under their disappointment, some of the younger ones got up a donkey race—the boys were well equipped in coloured caps and jackets, and they were numerously attended. The_ election for Mayor of this town is held annu ally on the Bth of September, and of course takes place to-morrow. Hi s Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury, and his expected here to-morrow, for a res id ence o f somfamily, yare w , eek weeks. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDIIALL.—(Tuts DAY.) A L a dy of very respectable appearance made the f o llo w .. ing charge against Mr. Wombwell, the celebrated Wild beast Menagerie keeper. The Lady stated that she was a er the wife of a Mr. Drake, k residing in Paris, a sh ewer o f Serpents there ; N r :Drake had sold an Elephant to Mr. part payment, ment, accepted two bills o f exchange in favour of Mr. D. dated on the 26th of April, Wombwell, who, in one for 501., and the other for 1824., a t t h ree months, had been paid; several attempts 20/.; neither of the bills had been made to see Mr. abode, those attempts had been . unsuccessful.

Sir PETER LAURIE discharged the parties, and hoped they would take care not to be out so late at night again— Caution ! ! BOW-STREET—(Tnts DAY.) A Gentleman, who represented himself as a Fellow of New College, Oxford, addre s s e d si r R. MIME, and said, that he had Jeen requested by the Duke of Buckingham and Major Mansel to apply to this office for some officers to assist in quelling a serious disturbance in Northampton shire, which arose from a nutting expedition, consisting of three or four hundred persons, who proceeded from that county into a forest in Buckinghamshire, of which the ap plicant was bailiff and guardian. Sir it. BIRNIE—If they be so powerful as you state, our officers cannot avail you. The applicant said, that if Sir Richard would send one or two of the Bow -street patrol to superintend the local constables, their name would have great influence in dis pelling the rioters. Sir RICHARD directed him to apply at the Secretary of State's office, and he himself would consult Mr. Dawson, the Under-Secretary, respecting it ; at the same time he or dered Ruthven, one of the officers, to hold himself in readiness. MARYLEBONE.—(Tnts DAY.) A young man named John Jones and his dog, were placed at the bar, on a charge of strolling about the streets last night. J. Harman, a watchman, met the prisoner and another young man, who had each a dog, at the Middleton buildings, about 12 o'clock last night; they were no t making any noise, but only w a lki ng a l on g. The prisoner 's dog sprung at a gentleman that was passing, but was pre vented from biting him by the prisoner. The young man then walked along, followed by witness, till they reached All Soul's Church, where they separated. 'Witness then made up to prisoner, apprehended him, and lodged him and his dog in the watch-house. Mr. BROUGHTON.—" I am not aware of any law which prohibits a person from walking the street at night, with such a dog as that now at the bar, and as you say that the prisoner prevented his dog from biting the gentleman, I do not see why he should have been taken into custody, let him therefore be discharged;" which he was accord ingly. WORSHIP-STREET--(Tats DAY.) This morning an investigation took place at this office, before Mr. OSBORNE, the Magistrate, respecting a most diabolical attempt to assassinate George Wilmore, an ac tive and zealous officer belonging to Hoxton, this morning about one o'clock. It appears that the officer has been for some time a great annoyance to the numberless thieves that infest the neigh bourhood. Not long since he caused some desperate characters to be held to bail, for obstructing him in the execution of his duty. Repeated applications have been Made to him by the friends of the parties to arrange mut ters, but all compromise was peremptorily refused. Last night Wilmore did duty at the watchhouse in Ro bert-street, as night-constable, and about one o'clock this morning, he was relieved by u brother officer, and was pro ceeding home, when near the Queen's Head public-house, he was alarmed at the report of a pistol, and the next mo ment he was struck with something in the breast, that caused him to stagger several paces; the watchman, who had heard the report, came running to the spot, and found Wilmore terribly alarmed, who on recovering himself, discovered that a pistol bullet had passed through the lapelle of his coat. Instant pursuit took place, and in Queen's Head-lane two men were seen running as fast as they could, yet although the watchmen raised every possible alarm, they succeeded in escaping. The Magistrate on heating these . particulars, told Wilmore that he should have every assistance. MARLBOROUGH 7 STREET.— ! --(Tway DAY.) • Sarah Smith, a remarkably fine-looking woman, was brought up from a watchhouse. A. watchman stated, that he heard a female screaming at a quarter before twelve last night. He went into Church court, and saw the prisoner sitting on the step of a door. She claimed his. protection, and he took. her to the watch house; she appeared then to be inebriated. She was or dered to be detained, and heft the o►fice with a seek less air. • QUEEN-SQUARE--{Tiers DAY). A youth named Samuel Hall, was brought up in cus tody on a charge of felony. He was remanded for further examination; and the prosecutor ordered to attend on a future day. UNION-HALL—(Tms . • PLEASURES OF MATRIMONY.—Widiam Davis, a respect able-looking old gentleman, was charged by Maria Davis, his - wife, with the following brutality : Mrs. Davis, a female of some fifty years, was placed in the witness-box ; one of her eyes was dreadfully swollen, the other bore all the varied colours of the rainbow, and she was evidently suffering under considerable corporeal incapacity from the blows she had received. She stated, that for' the last two or three years the violence used to wards her by her husband was so excessive, that she was almost in daily expectation of death; she had been mar ried upwards of thirty years, and, until recently, her hus band and herself had passed their lives in comparative tranquillity ; she could not account for the recent alteration ; at her time of life it could not arise from jealousy—her own mind assured her that it did not proceed from neglect ; and having mentally and physically endeavoured to counteract the evil, she found herself at last compelled to resort to the Magistrate's interference. She, towever, sincerely hoped that, in the exercise of that interference, he would not be induced to inflict any degrading or severe punishment. Mr. SWABEY, the presidingMegistrate, in a tone of sur prise and commiseration, asked the defendant what he had to offer in defence of much conduct. The defendant entered into a violent tirade against his wife, complaining of neglect; and concluded by abruptly saying, that he had bail in attendance, and was prepared to meet the case. Mr. SWABEY.—Your proposition of bail I sh u n d eman d , but that will not be sufficient. I shall bind you to keep the peace towards your wife, and also to appear to an swer any charge that may be preferred against you at the Sessions, as the unfortunate woman in the witness box swears she is in danger of her life. lie was then held to bail, himself in 40/., and two sure ies in 201. each. wretched looking y oung HATTON-GARDM---(Tuts DAY). placed at th e b ar , c h arge d creature,GaosS na D m E ed Pß l A l V a cT l Y ve zA witi with stealing several articles of wearing apparel, and three pounds sixteen shillings in money. It appeared from the evi de nce of a woman named Wright, that the prisoner and her moth er l o d ge d i n h er house, in a Court in Vine-street ; but that so depraved were the habits of the girl, that nothing was safe within her reach. She bad so frequently robbed her mother, who was a poor hard-working woman, that when sh e h a d any money it was given into the hands of witness for safety. The Magistrate, Mr. Sergeant SWAN, said thatt e scarce ly ever h ear d o f so mu ch depravity in one of th e p r i soner ' s age. He should therefore remand her.for a week, during which time, every exertion should be made by the parties to trace any portion of the lost property. The prisoner was taken f ro nt the bar laughing.

The Duke of York transacted business yesterday with Sir Henry Torrens, Adjutant-General, Sir Wil loughby Gordon, Quarter-Master-General, and with Sir Herbert Taylor, his Military Secretary. The usual medical attendants visited his Royal Highness. The unfavourable state of the weather has prevented the Royal Duke from taking his accustomed daily airing. Prince Esterhazy, the Austrian Ambassador, trans acted business yesterday afternoon with Mr. Secretary Canning, at his office in Downing-street. The Secretary of Legation to the Portuguese Em bassy also transacted business at the Foreign-Office yesterday. The Earl of Guilford and Sir Francis Burton transacted business yesterday at the Colonial Office with Mr. Wilmot Horton, Under Secretary of State for the Colonial Department. BRIGHTON, SEPT. 6.—The Duke of York is ex pected at the Pavilion on Saturday next. This is not at present generally known in the town, but it will revive the hopes of the inhabitants, which were not a little damped by the sudden departure of his Royal Highness. Braham has been singing at the theittre to wretched houses; indeed, his engagement has proved quite a failure, and Brighton is perhaps the first place where he has failed to draw crowded audiences. He is, how ever, extremely hoarse. The Duke and Duchess of Leinster are'arrived, and the town is setting very full. Mr. Rufus King, the late American Minister, was the first Ministei to this country after the acknowledg ment of the independence of the United States by our Government. He remained but a short time in Eng land on his second mission, returning soon after to the United States, leaving his son as the Charge d'Affaires' till the arrival of Mr. Galatin. Mr. King is far ad vanced in years. Despatches were received at the Foreign Office yes terday from the Right Hon. Sir Charles Begot, our Ambassador to the Netherlands ; and from Lord Granville, our Ambassador at Paris. Mr. Wilmot Horton arrived in town on Wednesday from Newmarket. The arrivals and departures from and to France have, within the last few days been extremely nu merous. Early yesterday morning one of the packets arrived with upwards of seventy passengers, the greater part of whom were unable to procure beds, in conse quence of the crowded state of the inns. One old lady who had been absent from England for many years, entreated the landlord of the Rising Sun not to refuse her a lodging, and she was ultimately accom modated with a few chairs in the coffee-room. The packet which left the same day for France took over • -"fifty passengers. It has blown a strong gale during the whole of to day. . The beach was much crowded with persons anxious to witness the arrival of the fishing-boats forced home by the violence of the-weather. N. M. licatisctuLD's SPLENDID ROUTE.---7 Yesterday being the: day appointed to introduce the bride and . bridegroom, previous to their marriage on Monday next, to the numerous and fashionable friends of their parents, prior to which preparations were making for several days past, on a most splendid and costly style ; various artists of the first rate description, were employed to decorate the suite. of apartments, which were, most elegantly and tastefully laid out. The supper consisted of every delicacy of the season ; the toile ensemble was a complete Oriental banquet. Amongst the noble personages who were present at the above sumptuous entertainment, we' notieeed the following :-- Prince Esterhazy, with his secretary; Prince Polignac ; Sir Charles Flower, and daughter ; Messrs. Bowden and Buller, Bank Directors; James Campbell ; Misses Trotters; Lady Hay ; Colonel French ; Baron Duperghen, and daughter ; the Span►sh Ambassador; Doctor Hume and family ; Archibald Campbell and daughter ; the Barons Rothschilds', with the bride and bridegroom. Owing to there being a dinner at the Trinity House, and the na tion being so short, a great number of the nobility were prevented from attending. The dancing began early, and they broke up about two o'clock in the morning. _ _ Mr. George Maguey, son of Mr. Alder Man Mag nay, Miss flower, and two other ladies, were driving in a sociable the other day, at Ryde, isle of Wight, the horses took fright, and running against a.projec tion, upset the whole party over the precipice in to. the sea. The ladies escaped unhurt, but .Mr. Magnay received a severe wound on the head. William Turner, Esq., of Shrigley Park, Cheshire, High Sheriff for that county, and father of Miss Ellen Turner (whose name has lately been so frequently before the public, as connected with the trial of the Wakefields), is become the purchaser of the fine estate of Cholmondeston, in that county, for about 50,000/. It is rumoured that the M.P. for a borough in a northern county, is likely to become the acknowledged suitor of a wealthy heiress, respecting whom so much has lately been said and done. The gentleman is the possessor of one of the finest estates and mansions in 'England. MONSIEUR JOURDAN, whose death we announced yesterday was a distinguished member of the French Bar, and one of the Committee appointed by the French Government for examining into and amending the laws now in force in their Colonies. It was At Jourdan who had come over at different times to en quire into and officially to report npon the criminal jurisprudence of England : the object of his last visit was to investigate the Colonial regulations lately a d o pted in this country. In these different missions, the discriminating powers of his mind were no less remarkable than his indefatigable spirit for research, and to his excessive application, must be attributed his untimely death, at the early age of 3 4. A man endowed with such abilities, will surely be much re native country, and by those members ogrfeottuerdli3l leis a i r who bad become acquainted with him, his premature death will also be deplored. The following was the allowance of provisions granted to Lady Lu c y , one of the maids of honour in the reign of Henry VIII.: Breolefitsi.—A chine of beef, it - loaf, a gallon of ale.

Among the improvements going on in this vicinity is a very judicious one by order of the Dean and Chapter of ,Westminster, which confers great credit on them. The plot of ground allotted for the scholars to play in, situate ►n the centre of Dean's-yard, has been removed, and a handsome iron palisade is now forming round the same, from five to six feet high. Repeatedly it occurred, that while the young gentlemen belong►ng to the College were amusing themselves on the above spot; foot passengers came across the ground, which being the private property of the Dean and Chapter, often caused an altercation between them and the public. This remedy ►will now put a stop to all ob structions for the future, and the scholars will have the opportunity of diverting themselves without interruption. The footpath has also been widened about three feet for the convenience of the public. We understand that the whole expence attending this improvement will be defrayed by the Dean and Chapter. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S, SEPT. 7. The accounts from Warwick and Pontefract races have been looked for with much anxiety, as they were expected to have considerable influence on the odds. At the former place, Cain, who is of the sante stable as Paul Pry, was beat, which of course was calculated to operate against the 'latter, and accordingly the betting yesterday sent hint back to 17 to 1. At Pontefract both nudes and Fanny Davies were winners, but they beat mere things, and are nene the better. Belzoni kept at 11 to 6 till just before the close of the room, when two to 1 was taken, and there he lett off. Our prediction that Mulatto would be second favourite is verified ; he was brought up to '7 to 1, at which price, however, there were very few•takers. Bedlamite, it is reported, has broken down ; but we will not vouch fur it 10 to 1 was betted, but he closed at gi to 1. The Dragon keeps his place, sod Tarrare is getting► up fast, but Crusader is rather on the retreat. The Ge neral has advanced a point or two on last week's odds, but is nut very likely to support it. The odds are as follow ST.

The right of chase, the greatest ever possessed even by any Monarch of this country, ex tending over not fewer than 500,000 acres of land, is the sole property of George Lord Rivers, who has repeatedly refused offers of purchase made by other Noblemen, but has recently proposed to the land-owners to disfranchise it, on tkeir binding themselves to a payment to him and his heirs, Of 1,8001. per annum. Th.- gentlemen of the Hunt, however, expressed themselves as rather desirous that the stock of deer ghoul,' be reduced to about 0,090, than that this ancient and splendid right should be given up en tirely by hie Lordship. - HE MARKETS. CORN-EXCHANGE.—(Tms DAv). There is this week a considerable supply of Wheat and Flour, but of English Barley and Oats the quantities are small. Of Fo reign COrn there are large arrivals. Wheat, unless very fine, is rather cheaper. Barley, Beans, and Pease, sold heavily at last quotations. The Oat-buyers are still reluctant in purchasing, and prices are nearly nominal at Monday's quotations. ARRIVALS. Wheat. I. Harley. I Oatd. I Flout, MOO qrs.
